There is no code. A losing ticket looks like this.

Looks like even the losing tickets have value BTW - This was sold...

It doesn't. It just makes the impact less noticeable. Imagine if Topps produced a one hit product for $2,800 that only produced $1,200 on average. The masses would erupt. Essentially, it's the same thing, spread out over multiple hits.

Was mentioned previously by Will that the losing tickets could be redeemed for a prize TBA at some future time. Details not yet released.

Is there any sort of auditing that these 'repack manufacturers' are subjected to? If not, then no one can sit here and put anything beyond any of these manufacturers, Will and Leaf included.

Not having such measures in place just seems to me like the perfect recipe for open market fraud and manipulation.

Had a big WTF at this one. This one is truly bringing the pitchforks to the mob. Auditing the pack out? If this thread hadn't jump shark already, I think it has now.

Edit: To clarify what I mean: I agree that more could have been done to improve the pack out, however comments like this only add to the mob mentality of this thread and the PR haters. The product is not for everyone, plain and simple.

I want to be clear here, even though I would be better to let it drop.

Although I mentioned Haiku comparing him to PR, it's not because of him ripping anyone off.

It's because both people came to the message board, befriended everyone, acted like a hero to the common man, and then vanished.

That is all. Haiku was a criminal who should be in jail. PR just put out a lousy product, completely legal.

But I do see the similarities the way they went about their business. Who didn't think Haiku was the greatest guy in the world when he was giving away cards to kids who did well in school?

Who didn't think PR was the man for putting out such a superior re-pack with full disclosure?

That is all, I want to be clear I am in no way, shape or form implying PR did anything illegal as he did not. He just put out a lousy product and vanished once the masses realized this!

On his profile page, why does it not say the last active time on the site for Prospect Rush?

Why does it matter?

I'm sure people want to know. Also maybe some people want that info hidden on their profile.

Agreed on both of these.

I have no dog in this fight, but I do have a question. Has anyone looked back found sale values when he originally starting plotting this product? I bet his game plan started mths ago and he never strayed from it. I am not saying the product is good because it's not. I just wonder if sale value when this whole thing started would have added a few hundred to each box?

He is in invisible mode. Basically he can read comments, but not get called out for being online as no one knows when was the last time he was on.

Invisible mode? Is this Pac-Man?

Invisible mode allows you to browse the forums without appearing in the 'Currently Active Users' lists.

Why wouldn't you just not log in?

Because this thread is on page 137 and counting?

My point is that he has seen the thread. I can guarantee you this. If his profile said last log in was 6/1/2015 would you believe it?

They are saying you can view the forums without logging in and go unnoticed.

I would say it's because you may still want to see your PM's, but I'm going to venture out on a limb and say that's not the case here.

No I am saying why go invisible so you can read when you can do the same thing by not logging in. Of course that wouldn't work if you still wanted to read your messages.

You can read those from your private email

If you use Blowout on multiple computers and devices you can forget to log out on all of them and become visible.

Keyser Soze · 06-15-2015, 12:12 PM

I have nothing to say about the product, as I did not even consider participating, however, reading this makes me even more relieved that I quit prospecting a few months back.

Most people that go "invisible" still post. The point of going in invisible is so people don't know whether you're online or not.
